There are a lot of things I'm not sure of because you didn't tell us any technical stuff, like what camera you used, film?, or what kind of metering you did....automatic? or something else. First of all it's obvious the sun was very bright and it looks to me like the camera used the wall behind the woman to base the exposure....as a result her face is dark and most of the image is under-exposed. A histogram reading in photoshop shows that there is no pure black and no pure white in your image either.

I am, therefore I create.......
